This project is no longer maintained by the original author.

PublicDomain

A completely free, public domain collection of oft-needed code and packages for .NET. Features include Time Zone support, Logging API, Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net), Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API, Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs, Screen scraping API, and a milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography, and much, much more.

PublicDomain binaries and source code are... in the Public Domain (surprise surprise). Therefore, there is no license, so the code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code has no authority, and is provided "AS IS," without express or implied warranty of any kind.

Get right to the code!

The latest files are to your right, in the "Current Release" box. Install PublicDomain.dll and either pick and choose the code you need from the source files, or reference PublicDomain in your .NET project.

Goals

Open source libraries in .NET have two problems or annoyances:

.NET projects and utilities are scattered, difficult to deploy and integrate, difficult to find, difficult to contribute to, and,
Licenses are confusing or restrictive.

This package solves these two problems as follows:

This package becomes a "catch all" for all different types of code, so that there is no dependency hierarchy, and
This code is in the Public Domain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain), meaning that the code has no legal authority, will ask nothing for its use, and has absolutely no restrictions (as opposed to the GPL)! The code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code is provided "AS IS," without express or implied warranty of any kind.

Download Instructions

Go to the Releases tab.

To reference PublicDomain, download PublicDomain.dll, install it, and put it in your project or place it in the GAC and then reference it (by default, binaries and source are installed in C:\Program Files\Public Domain\).

High Level Feature List

This is a bullet point distillation of the full feature list below:

Time Zone support
Logging API
Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net)
Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API
Unzipper Class
Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs
Screen scraping API
Milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography

This is an (undetailed, dated, and partial) sampling of some of the code included in the current release:

Dynamic code evaluation in C#, VB.NET
- Example: PublicDomain.Dynacode.CodeUtilities.EvalSnippet(Language.CSharp, "1*337")
First pure C# implementation of the Olson Time Zone database
- Programmatic access to RULE and ZONE information, instead of obfuscated C and C code
Abstracted and powerful Logging API, with formatting interfaces and extensions such as Composite loggers
Generic Pair, Triple, ReadOnlyDictionary, and ReadOnlyICollection classes
API for getting a list of programs from the Add/Remove Program list as a collection of IInstallProgram instances. These wrappers include methods like Uninstall()
API for manipulating the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), including installing/uninstalling assemblies into/from the GAC, as well as listing or searching for assemblies
Iso* classes such as Iso8601 for various parsing facilities
Cryptography Utilities, String utilities
Archiver class
- Uses J# libraries to extract zip file entries
Win32 class
- Provides PInvoke wrappers to WIN32 functions
- Methods: LogoffCurrentUser, Shutdown, RestartWindows
ProcessHelper class
- Wrapper around System.Diagnostics.Process which provides some convenience methods but most importantly deal with the complex nature of getting both StandardOutput and StandardError streams concurrently
FileSystemUtilities class
- Methods: SaveInputStreamToFile, CombineTrackbacksInPath

- All windows culture constants
DisposableReaderWriter class
- Wrapper around the .NET ReaderWriterLock to more easily use a reader/writer lock
InvariantCultureContext class
- The class can be used in a using() {} block or a try, finally block with a dispose call and allows for setting the current Thread's culture to the invariant culture during the length of the scope. This is useful when it is critical to have invariant culture rules, for example, if you are dependent that a real number is of the form X.XXXX, then you will be thrown off if there is a European culture.
RegexUtilities class
- Common regular expressions
ScreenScraper class
- Help in managing GET and POST requests to websites, including cookie handling, HTTP redirects, and output parsing
Various ISO Format wrapper classes
- Iso3166, Iso6709
LatitudeLongitudePoint class

PublicDomain

A completely free, public domain collection of oft-needed code and packages for .NET. Features include Time Zone support, Logging API, Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net), Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API, Unzipper Class, Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs, Screen scraping API, and a milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography, and much, much more.

PublicDomain binaries and source code are... in the Public Domain (surprise surprise). Therefore, there is no license, so the code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code has no authority, and is provided "AS IS," without express or implied warranty of any kind.

Get right to the code!

Using PublicDomain:

Goals

Open source libraries in .NET have two problems or annoyances:

.NET projects and utilities are scattered, difficult to deploy and integrate, difficult to find, difficult to contribute to, and,
Licenses are confusing or restrictive.

This package solves these two problems as follows:

This package becomes a "catch all" for all different types of code, so that there is no dependency hierarchy, and
This code is in the Public Domain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain), meaning that the code has no legal authority, will ask nothing for its use, and has absolutely no restrictions (as opposed to the GPL)! The code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code is provided "AS IS," without express or implied warranty of any kind.

Download Instructions

Go to the Releases tab.

To reference PublicDomain, download PublicDomain.dll, install it, and put it in your project or place it in the GAC and then reference it (by default, binaries and source are installed in C:\Program Files\Public Domain\).

High Level Feature List

This is a bullet point distillation of the full feature list below:

Time Zone support
Logging API
Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net)
Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API
Unzipper Class
Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs
Screen scraping API
Milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography
And More!

Feature List

This is an (undetailed and partial) sampling of some of the code included in the current release:

Dynamic code evaluation in C#, VB.NET

Example: PublicDomain.Dynacode.CodeUtilities.EvalSnippet(Language.CSharp, "1*337")

First pure C# implementation of the Olson Time Zone database (experimental)

Programmatic access to RULE and ZONE information, instead of obfuscated C and C++ code

Abstracted and powerful Logging API, with formatting interfaces and extensions such as Composite loggers
Generic Pair, Triple, ReadOnlyDictionary, and ReadOnlyICollection classes
API for getting a list of programs from the Add/Remove Program list as a collection of IInstallProgram instances. These wrappers include methods like Uninstall()
API for manipulating the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), including installing/uninstalling assemblies into/from the GAC, as well as listing or searching for assemblies
Iso* classes such as Iso8601 for various parsing facilities
Cryptography Utilities, String utilities
Archiver class

Uses J# libraries to extract zip file entries

Win32 class

Provides PInvoke wrappers to WIN32 functions
Methods: LogoffCurrentUser, Shutdown, RestartWindows

ProcessHelper class

Wrapper around System.Diagnostics.Process which provides some convenience methods but most importantly deal with the complex nature of getting both StandardOutput and StandardError streams concurrently

FileSystemUtilities class

Methods: SaveInputStreamToFile, CombineTrackbacksInPath

ObjectUtilities class

SerializeObjectToBinary, DeserializeObjectFromBinary

ReflectionUtilities class

GetStrongName, FindTypeByInterface, FindInstanceByInterface

JStream class

Transparently pass a .NET System.IO.Stream class where a java.io.InputStream class is expected

JInputStream class

Transparently pass a java.io.InputStream class where a .NET System.IO.Stream class is expected

StringUtilities class
CultureConstants class

All windows culture constants

DisposableReaderWriter class

Wrapper around the .NET ReaderWriterLock to more easily use a reader/writer lock

InvariantCultureContext class

The class can be used in a using() {} block or a try, finally block with a dispose call and allows for setting the current Thread's culture to the invariant culture during the length of the scope. This is useful when it is critical to have invariant culture rules, for example, if you are dependent that a real number is of the form X.XXXX, then you will be thrown off if there is a European culture.

RegexUtilities class

Common regular expressions

ScreenScraper class

Help in managing GET and POST requests to websites, including cookie handling, HTTP redirects, and output parsing

Various ISO Format wrapper classes

Iso3166, Iso6709

LatitudeLongitudePoint class
UnitedStatesUtilities class and USState class

Static list of U.S. states in object form

There is no license, so the code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code has no authority. For C# projects, the entire package can be added to an existing project by adding one .cs file that has all the code, therefore avoiding extra DLL dependencies nor installing this package into the GAC.

Get right to the code!

The latest files are to your right, in the "Current Release" box. Download PublicDomain.cs for the code or PublicDomain.msi to install the DLL

Goals

Open source libraries in .NET have two problems or annoyances:

.NET projects and utilities are scattered, difficult to deploy and integrate, difficult to find, difficult to contribute to, and,
Licenses are confusing or restrictive.

This package solves these two problems as follows (in reverse order):

This code is in the Public Domain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain), meaning that the code has no legal authority, will ask nothing for its use, and has absolutely no restrictions (as opposed to the GPL)! It may be included in commercial applications, redistributed, altered, or even eaten without any worries. Its use need not be attributed in any way. This package is inherently provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. In no event will any authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this package.
For problem #1, one major design goal is that I should be able to embed a single file into my project and harness this package, without adding too much bloat to my application.

For this, precompiler directives are used to include or exclude code that is unnecessary or necessitates DLL dependencies that I cannot take on.
Second, everything is packaged in a single file to make using this package dead simple, especially in a C# context (non-C# projects will need a built version of this file and reference the DLL). There are no obfuscated build or install procedures, or the complexity of managing 10 referenced open source projects in my solution. I simply place or insert this file (or any subset of it, since any part of it can be edited, removed, or extracted) anywhere I need its useful code.

This is useful when it is critical to have invariant culture rules, for example, if you are dependent that a real number is of the form X.XXXX, then you will be thrown off if there is a European culture.

PublicDomain

A completely free, public domain collection of oft-needed code and packages for .NET. Features include Time Zone support, Logging API, Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net), Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API, Unzipper Class, Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs, Screen scraping API, and a milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography, and much, much more. There is no license, so the code (or any part of it) may be included even in corporate applications. Public domain code has no authority. For C# projects, the entire package can be added to an existing project by adding one .cs file that has all the code, therefore avoiding extra DLL dependencies nor installing this package into the GAC.

Get right to the code!

The latest files are to your right, in the "Current Release" box. Download PublicDomain.cs for the code or PublicDomain.msi to install the DLL

Goals

Open source libraries in .NET have two problems or annoyances:

.NET projects and utilities are scattered, difficult to deploy and integrate, difficult to find, difficult to contribute to, and,
Licenses are confusing or restrictive.

This package solves these two problems as follows (in reverse order):

This code is in the Public Domain (http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-definitions.html), meaning that the code has no legal authority, will ask nothing for its use, and has absolutely no restrictions! That is true open source. It may be included in commercial applications, redistributed, altered, or even eaten without any worries. Its use need not be attributed in any way. This package is inherently provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. In no event will any authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this package.
For problem #1, one major design goal is that I should be able to embed a single file into my project and harness this package, without adding too much bloat to my application.

For this, precompiler directives are used to include or exclude code that is unnecessary or necessitates DLL dependencies that I cannot take on.
Second, everything is packaged in a single file to make using this package dead simple, especially in a C# context (non-C# projects will need a built version of this file and reference the DLL). There are no obfuscated build or install procedures, or the complexity of managing 10 referenced open source projects in my solution. I simply place or insert this file (or any subset of it, since any part of it can be edited, removed, or extracted) anywhere I need its useful code.

Download Instructions

Go to the Releases tab.

For simple use, download PublicDomain.cs. This file may be inserted into the project or you may simply copy and paste code out of it into your code.
To reference PublicDomain, download PublicDomain.dll and put it in your project or place it in the GAC and then reference it.

High Level Feature List

This is a bullet point distillation of the full feature list below:

Time Zone support
Logging API
Dynamic Code Evaluation (C#, VB.Net)
Global Assembly Cache (GAC) API
Unzipper Class
Rss, Atom, and OPML APIs
Screen scraping API
Milieu of various utilities for strings, arrays, cryptography
And More!

Feature List

This is an (undetailed and partial) sampling of some of the code included in the current release:

Dynamic code evaluation in C#, VB.NET

Example: PublicDomain.Dynacode.CodeUtilities.EvalSnippet(Language.CSharp, "1*337")

First pure C# implementation of the Olson Time Zone database (experimental)

Programmatic access to RULE and ZONE information, instead of obfuscated C and C++ code

Abstracted and powerful Logging API, with formatting interfaces and extensions such as Composite loggers
Generic Pair, Triple, ReadOnlyDictionary, and ReadOnlyICollection classes
API for getting a list of programs from the Add/Remove Program list as a collection of IInstallProgram instances. These wrappers include methods like Uninstall()
API for manipulating the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), including installing/uninstalling assemblies into/from the GAC, as well as listing or searching for assemblies
Iso* classes such as Iso8601 for various parsing facilities
Cryptography Utilities, String utilities
Archiver class

Uses J# libraries to extract zip file entries

Win32 class

Provides PInvoke wrappers to WIN32 functions
Methods: LogoffCurrentUser, Shutdown, RestartWindows

ProcessHelper class

Wrapper around System.Diagnostics.Process which provides some convenience methods but most importantly deal with the complex nature of getting both StandardOutput and StandardError streams concurrently

FileSystemUtilities class

Methods: SaveInputStreamToFile, CombineTrackbacksInPath

ObjectUtilities class

SerializeObjectToBinary, DeserializeObjectFromBinary

ReflectionUtilities class

GetStrongName, FindTypeByInterface, FindInstanceByInterface

JStream class

Transparently pass a .NET System.IO.Stream class where a java.io.InputStream class is expected

JInputStream class

Transparently pass a java.io.InputStream class where a .NET System.IO.Stream class is expected

StringUtilities class
CultureConstants class

All windows culture constants

DisposableReaderWriter class

Wrapper around the .NET ReaderWriterLock to more easily use a reader/writer lock

InvariantCultureContext class

Wrapper around the .NET ReaderWriterLock to more easily use a reader/writer lock

InvariantCultureContext class

The class can be used in a using() {} block or a try, finally block with a dispose call and allows for setting the current Thread's culture to the invariant culture during the length of the scope. This is useful when it is critical to have invariant culture rules, for example, if you are dependent that a real number is of the form X.XXXX, then you will be thrown off if there is a European culture.

RegexUtilities class

Common regular expressions

CodeUtilities class

Methods: Eval

ScreenScraper class

Help in managing GET and POST requests to websites, including cookie handling, HTTP redirects, and output parsing

Various ISO Format wrapper classes

Iso3166, Iso6709

LatitudeLongitudePoint class
UnitedStatesUtilities class and USState class

Static list of U.S. states in object form

PublicDomain

Get right to the code!

The latest files are to your right, in the "Current Release" box. Download PublicDomain.cs for the code or PublicDomain.msi to install the DLL

Goals

Open source libraries in .NET have two problems or annoyances:

.NET projects and utilities are scattered, difficult to deploy and integrate, difficult to find, difficult to contribute to, and,
Licenses are confusing or restrictive.

This package solves these two problems as follows (in reverse order):

This code is in the Public Domain (http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-definitions.html), meaning that the code has no legal authority, will ask nothing for its use, and has absolutely no restrictions! That is true open source. It may be included in commercial applications, redistributed, altered, or even eaten without any worries. Its use need not be attributed in any way. This package is inherently provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. In no event will any authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this package.
For problem #1, one major design goal is that I should be able to embed a single file into my project and harness this package, without adding too much bloat to my application.

For this, precompiler directives are used to include or exclude code that is unnecessary or necessitates DLL dependencies that I cannot take on.
Second, everything is packaged in a single file to make using this package dead simple, especially in a C# context (non-C# projects will need a built version of this file and reference the DLL). There are no obfuscated build or install procedures, or the complexity of managing 10 referenced open source projects in my solution. I simply place or insert this file (or any subset of it, since any part of it can be edited, removed, or extracted) anywhere I need its useful code.

Download Instructions

Go to the Releases tab.

For simple use, download PublicDomain.cs. This file may be inserted into the project or you may simply copy and paste code out of it into your code.
To reference PublicDomain, download PublicDomain.dll and put it in your project or place it in the GAC and then reference it.

Feature List

This is an (undetailed and partial) sampling of some of the code included in the current release:

Dynamic code evaluation in C#, VB.NET

Example: PublicDomain.Dynacode.CodeUtilities.EvalSnippet(Language.CSharp, "1*337")

First pure C# (experimental) implementation of the Olson Time Zone database

Programmatic access to RULE and ZONE information, instead of obfuscated C and C++ code

Generic Pair, Triple, ReadOnlyDictionary, and ReadOnlyICollection classes
API for getting a list of programs from the Add/Remove Program list, including running the uninstaller
API for manipulating the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), including installing/uninstalling assemblies into/from the GAC, as well as listing or searching for assemblies
Iso* classes such as Iso8601 for various parsing facilities
Cryptography Utilities, String utilities
Archiver class

Uses J# libraries to extract zip file entries

Win32 class

Provides PInvoke wrappers to WIN32 functions
Methods: LogoffCurrentUser, Shutdown, RestartWindows

ProcessHelper class

Wrapper around System.Diagnostics.Process which provides some convenience methods but most importantly deal with the complex nature of getting both StandardOutput and StandardError streams concurrently

FileSystemUtilities class

Methods: SaveInputStreamToFile, CombineTrackbacksInPath

ObjectUtilities class

SerializeObjectToBinary, DeserializeObjectFromBinary

ReflectionUtilities class

GetStrongName, FindTypeByInterface, FindInstanceByInterface

JStream class

Transparently pass a .NET System.IO.Stream class where a java.io.InputStream class is expected

JInputStream class

Transparently pass a java.io.InputStream class where a .NET System.IO.Stream class is expected

StringUtilities class

Methods: RandomString

CultureConstants class

All windows culture constants
